Cookie Policy
Last updated: 8 August 2026
The Oracle may know what your coffee has in store, but it doesn't need to know everything about you. This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on Latte Oracle and the choices you have about them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information stored by your browser when you visit a website.
They can be used for things such as remembering preferences, keeping a service working correctly, or helping website owners understand how their site is being used.
2. How Latte Oracle Uses Cookies
Latte Oracle currently uses cookies primarily for analytics.
If you choose to accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to help us understand how people interact with Latte Oracle.
This can help us understand things such as:
- how many people visit Latte Oracle;
- how visitors use the site;
- whether readings are successfully completed;
- how often the sharing feature is used;
- website and reading performance.
We use this information to improve Latte Oracle rather than to build advertising profiles about individual visitors.
3. Analytics Cookies
Google Analytics may set first-party cookies on your device after you give consent.
The main cookies used by our current Google Analytics setup may include:
- _ga — used to distinguish users. Its default expiration period is up to 2 years.
- _ga_<container-id> — used to maintain session state. Its default expiration period is up to 2 years.
Browser restrictions or changes to our analytics configuration may result in shorter storage periods.
4. Information Collected Through Analytics
Where you consent to analytics, Google Analytics may process information such as:
- website and session activity;
- browser and device information;
- approximate geographic information;
- technical information about how the website performs;
- the Latte Oracle events described in our Privacy Policy.
We do not intentionally send your uploaded coffee photograph or the text of your generated prophecy to Google Analytics.
5. Your Choice
Analytics cookies are optional.
When you first visit Latte Oracle, you can choose whether to accept or reject analytics cookies.
Rejecting analytics cookies will not stop you from uploading a coffee photo, generating a reading or using the main features of Latte Oracle.
6. Withdrawing or Changing Consent
You can change your cookie choice at any time through the cookie preferences option available on Latte Oracle.
If you withdraw consent, Latte Oracle will stop using analytics storage on your device for future activity.
You can also remove existing cookies through your browser settings.
7. Strictly Necessary Technologies
Some websites require cookies or similar technologies simply to provide their basic functionality or maintain security.
If Latte Oracle introduces any strictly necessary cookies in the future, they may operate without consent because they are required to provide the service you request. We will still explain their purpose here.
8. Third-Party Services
Our analytics service is provided by Google. Google may process information collected through Google Analytics in accordance with its own privacy and data protection practices.
You can find more information about how we handle personal information generally in our Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if Latte Oracle changes the technologies or services it uses.
The latest version will always be published on this page, together with the date it was most recently updated.
